Chapter 34 Mrs. Bian: scabbard

That autumn night, the moonlight was like silver.Mrs. Bian sat alone in front of the window, caressing the exquisite deerskin scabbard in her hand, but her eyes wandered in the courtyard. At this time, there are pieces of broad leaves fluttering in the autumn wind, just like in the past. Thirty years ago, it was also an autumn night.Cao Cao returned to the dormitory late at night.He first took off the short knife in his waist, and carefully played with it under the lamp.It was a Seven Star Knife.Suddenly, Cao Cao slammed the knife into the table. The lights went out, and the room was pitch black, only the short knife on the table was shining coldly.

The next morning, when Mrs. Bian woke up, Cao Cao had disappeared.There is only a letter pressed on the table with a scabbard: Come back tonight, prepare more wine to celebrate.The scabbard was embroidered with seven stars, very delicate. But that night, Cao Cao did not come back.What she waited for was the shocking news that Cao Cao failed to assassinate the national traitor Dong Zhuo, and fled in a hurry. Now there is no one alive or dead. Mrs. Bian's ancestral home in Shandong was of humble origins, and her family advocated excellence for generations.I heard from my mother that when she was born, the delivery room was filled with yellow light.The father was very surprised, so he went to ask the fortune teller, and the wizard replied: "This is a good omen! This girl's future will be limitless!"

What limitless future can a kabuki family have?It's just a lie that the wizard spouted in order to get more money.So Bian didn't immediately honor himself because of these words.She still continues her ancestral business as a kabuki.Until I met Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao was unemployed at home, and his bones ached from being idle all day long.That day, he was hanging out with some friends when he heard her singing.Cao Cao was very happy, his troubled heart suddenly calmed down, and he was relieved like never before.He said, this is the most beautiful music he has ever heard. How can the person who gave us such music live in the world, and should have a noble shelter.

This sentence moved Bian deeply. Cao Cao immediately accepted her as his concubine. That year, she was twenty years old and Cao Cao was twenty-five years old. Following Cao Cao, the Bian family did not immediately gain glory, but suffered a lot. Cao Cao was in exile and could not be stable, so Bian always followed her husband and took care of his life.Until it stabilized in Luoyang. Unexpectedly, there was another catastrophe.Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and ran away. A few days later, someone said that Cao Cao was on his way to exile, and he met a bandit and was killed.For a while, everyone in Cao's family panicked and panicked, and some people wanted to pack up their things and flee.

At this time, Mrs. Bian stood up and said to them, how important is the life and death of General Cao!How can you determine it based on just a few rumors?If this is a lie fabricated by people with ulterior motives, you are deceived and leave him today, and the general returns safely tomorrow, what face do you have to see your master?Is it worthwhile to rashly give up a lifetime of fame and reputation in order to avoid unknown disasters?Think twice, everyone! Unexpectedly, a few words from her left everyone speechless, and they all decided to stay at this critical juncture. Sure enough, a few years later, Cao Cao became the prime minister and became a figure with great power. He ordered his confidants to find her and take her back to the prime minister's house.

When Mrs. Bian presented the seven-star scabbard in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's eyes were moist. After a long while, he sighed: "The scabbard is still there, but I don't know where the precious sword is left!" At that time, he took out a knife to stab Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo found out.Cao Cao had no choice but to offer the knife and said, I am here to offer the knife.Dong Zhuo was deceived for a while.But as soon as Cao Cao left, Dong Zhuo recalled: Why did he only offer a knife without a scabbard?There is clearly a fraud! Immediately sent someone to arrest Cao Cao, but Cao Cao had already run away.

Now, Dong Zhuo has been killed, and Cao Cao controls the government.He was very moved when he saw Mrs. Bian kept the scabbard for him. But Cao Cao didn't often come to Mrs. Bian's residence.Among Cao Cao's many concubines, Cao Cao's favorite is Mrs. Ding. Mrs. Ding is water, clear and sweet; Mrs. Bian is fire, passionate.I need the nourishment of water all the time, but I cannot be baked by fire for a long time.Cao Cao smiled while hugging her body after drinking. At that moment, Mrs. Bian's jealousy burst out of her heart like a flame.She thought, sooner or later, I will use my fire to dry your clear and sweet water.

For many nights after that, Mrs. Bian stayed up all night. What made Mrs. Bian extremely proud was that in the following years, she gave birth to four sons for Cao Cao: Pi, Zhang, Zhi, and Xiong.Mrs. Ding followed Cao Cao for many years, but did not give birth to a child.This woman can only love Cao Ang, the son of her ex-wife Liu, as her own son. What made Mrs. Bian even more happy was that Mrs. Ding ran away because of Cao Ang's death. Mrs. Ding left unfeelingly, which made Cao Cao's temper increasingly irritable, and also opened a wide road for Mrs. Bian.Although Cao Cao went to invite Mrs. Ding several times, Mrs. Ding insisted on not returning.Mrs. Bian rejoiced secretly.Gradually, Cao Cao transferred his love for Madam Ding to Madam Bian.

What made Cao Cao even more delighted was that Mrs. Bian's four sons had their own characteristics: Cao Pi was shrewd and scheming, Cao Zhang was brave and good at fighting, Cao Zhi was outstandingly talented, and Cao Xiong was honest and respectful.Cao Cao said: I can choose the best of them to be my successor. Madam Bian's heart was filled with joy.The son gradually grew up in Bian's expectation, but Bian's joy dissipated as they grew up. Each of the sons recruited a group of people to expand their power in order to compete for the position of the son, fighting openly and secretly.Mrs. Bian was full of worries.She said to Cao Cao, why only one son was established, why not more sons?Cao Cao laughed, of course there can only be one heir, otherwise, after a hundred years, several Wei kings will appear at once, which one do you let the world listen to?Besides, if they don't fight, how can I know who is the best?In the end, the eldest son Cao Pi was established as the eldest son, and the Bian family was relieved.She thought that her sons would be safe and sound from now on.Unexpectedly, with the death of King Wei and the succession of Cao Pi, things that made her sad came one after another.

After Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, he sent his three younger brothers to Luoyang to discuss matters.Xiao Huaihou Cao Xiong hanged himself after hearing the news.Cao Zhang, Marquis of Yanling, was ordered to return to Beijing and died suddenly on the chessboard in Cao Pi's back garden.Under Mrs. Bian's begging, Cao Zhicai, Marquis of Linzi, was saved from death, but was relegated to Marquis of Anxiang, and would never return to Beijing without an edict. In a very short period of time, Mrs. Bian lost her two sons, and Cao Zhi was going to a remote area to take up another post, so it was hard to see her again.Madam Bian said sadly to Cao Pi, I really don't understand why you are so unfeeling to your brother.Cao Pi calmly replied: It's not because of my son's ruthlessness, but because of my son's lack of affection.Mrs. Bian said, you are also the heir of the king, why are you the only one who is so famous.Cao Pi replied: Because I am the son of the king.Mrs. Bian said, but why is their fate so miserable?Cao Pi said: Because they are also the sons of the king.Mrs. Bian said, you are too cruel.Cao Pi replied, "My mother is too charitable. In fact, you will see similar scenes when any one of them ascends the throne."Mrs. Bian was speechless.She regretted giving birth to four sons!

Mrs. Bian was honored as Queen Mother by Cao Pi, and all the officials came to congratulate her.Mrs. Bian was very happy on the surface, but no one knew how much pain was hidden in her smile. Mrs. Bian's distant thoughts were cut off by the sound of footsteps. She turned her gaze back from the plane tree outside the window, and she saw her son Cao Pi standing in front of her wearing a dragon robe. 7 Mrs. Bian said, Pier, Mrs. Ding died of illness last night. I want to bring her coffin into the city and bury it with your father.You know, your father missed Mrs. Ding the most during his lifetime. Cao Pi didn't say a word, just looked at Mrs. Bian fixedly. That gaze hit Madam Bian's heart like a cold stone. Madam Bian's heart was as empty as the seven-star scabbard in her hands. Mrs. Bian's biography of Wuxuan Empress Bian, a native of Kaiyang in Langye, is also the mother of Emperor Wen.This advocate family, twenty years old, Taizu became a concubine after Qiao Na.Then he followed Taizu to Luo.And Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Taizu took refuge in the east in micro-service.Yuan Shu passed down Taizu's fierce question, when Taizu left and right to Luo people all wanted to return, and he said afterward: "Cao Jun's good or bad luck is unknown. If you return home today, if you are here tomorrow, how will you see each other again? Disaster is coming, why bother to die together!"Taizu heard about it and was kind.At the beginning of Jian'an, Mrs. Ding was abolished, so she became the successor.All sons without mothers were raised by Taizu.Emperor Wen was the prince, and the elders of the left and right congratulated the queen and said: "The general worships the prince, and everyone in the world is happy. Afterwards, he will reward the prince." The fault is a blessing, so why should it be given as a gift!" Chang Yu returned, with words to Taizu.Taizu Yue said: "Anger does not change his face, and joy does not lose integrity, so it is the most difficult." In the twenty-fourth year, I worshiped as the queen, and Ce said: "Mrs. Bian, who raised the sons, has the virtue of motherhood. Now the queen is in the throne, the princes and princes will accompany her, and the group of ministers will live long, and the death penalty in the country will be reduced." Twenty-four. In five years, Taizu died, and Emperor Wen took the throne, and the empress was called the Queen Mother, and Jian Yan, and the empress was called the Empress Dowager, and it was called Yongshou Palace.Emperor Ming ascended the throne, respecting the Empress Dowager as the Empress Dowager. In Huang Chuzhong, Emperor Wen wanted to posthumously confer the parents of the Empress Dowager. Shangshu Chen Qun said: "Your Majesty was ordered by virtue of holiness and virtue to start a business and make a leather system, which should always be the posthumous style. There is no system of women's division of land and nobility in the texts of case classics. Rituals, women because of their husbands. Qin violated the ancient law, and the Han family did it because of it. It is not an order of the king." The emperor said: "This discussion is also true, but it should not be implemented. It is written as an imperial edict. The pavilion will be forever Later style." In the spring of the fourth year of Taihe (230 A.D.), Emperor Ming pursued the posthumous title of Empress Dowager. Grandfather Guang was called Kaiyang Gonghou, father Yuan was called Jinghou, and grandmother Zhou Fengyang Dujun and Mrs. Jinghou were given seals and ribbons.In May of that year, it collapsed later.In July, Gaoling was buried together. At the beginning, Bing, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, was granted the title of Marquis of Duxiang by meritorious service. In the seventh year of Huangchu (226 A.D.), he was granted the title of Marquis of Kaiyang, with a town of 1,200 households, and was named General Zhaolie.Bingxi, Zilan heir.He has few talents and studies, and he is the captain of Fengche, the guerrilla general, and the regular servant of Sanqi.Lan Xun is the heir of Zihui.He was also divided into Bingjue, and Landilin was granted the title of Liehou, from the official to the infantry school lieutenant.Lan Zilong's daughter was the queen of Gaogui Township. After Long's father, her father was Doctor Guanglu.Chasing Long's ex-wife Liu as the Lord of Shunyang Township, and the reason for his stepmother.Lin'er was also Queen Chenliu, when Lin was gone, and Lin's wife, Liu, was granted the title of Lord of Guangyang Township. The comment said: Although the family of the concubine Wei is rich and honored, there is no one who slaughters the government if it is not based on the decline of the Han Dynasty.Learn from the past and change the track, so it is beautiful.Looking back at Chen Qun's arguments, Zhanqian's theory is suitable for a hundred kings' regulations, and the constitutional model is almost a later date.
